How to Create a Link to an Article

What you need:

Persistent link

Proxy prefix

What is a persistent link?

A persistent link, sometimes called a permalink, persistent URL, stable URL or durable URL, is an Internet address that connects directly to the full text of an article in a library database or online journal. Some vendors use the DOI system to create a permanent link to the full text.

What is a proxy prefix?

A proxy prefix enables students to access library resources from off campus. If the proxy prefix is placed at the beginning of a persistent link, students will be prompted to log in to the UT Libraries resources with their EID and password.

How do I create the article link?

Best Option - scoUT

Right click on the result you need and copy and paste the URL into your course page. This is the preferred method and will always link your students to the ScoUT record where they can easily click to get to the full text.
